New build mastic for homes and businesses in Westmill
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly rather than sitting on a layer of grit. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and internal frame sealant that has split.
Homes around Westmill range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Your questions about new build mastic in Westmill
Do you work for landlords with property near Hitchin station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Westmill in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Westmill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we will say so.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. A visit to Westmill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Quotes for new build mastic in Westmill
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We remove cracked sealant and apply a flexible one that suits the frame.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a smaller place like Westmill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Full insurance on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
